Fahmi Fadzil, the communications chief for Pakatan Harapan, has dismissed reports of ongoing negotiations with Bersatu, stating that no formal talks have commenced between the two political coalitions. His remarks came in response to mounting speculation about potential cooperation arrangements between the blocs. According to Fahmi, any future collaboration would need to be deliberated and decided by the joint presidential council, which comprises senior leadership from both coalitions. The clarification underscores the formal procedures that would need to be followed before any substantive political alliance could be established. This statement reflects the cautious approach taken by PH leadership regarding cross-coalition partnerships at a time of shifting political alignments in Malaysian politics.
